I have a Garmin Zumo 590, and for the most part, I like it. I can use Basecamp to create custom routes, and that has been okay.
However, I have been driving for Lyft in the past year, and have grown to rely Google Maps on my phone for navigation. I have a newer phone that is waterproof, and the display is almost the same size as the Garmin. I like the idea of using a phone because there is no need to update maps - it does so automatically - and no need to update the maps in BaseCamp either. I have found a way to create custom maps in Google Maps.
Does anyone use their phone for long trips? I would love to have some feedback. One caution I have is vibration - I would want to have a RAM mount that dampens the high vibration of the NT at speed.
Thoughts?
